Stinky's Crash Course in "nOOb Hydro"... Welcome to the Darkside

[QWIDGYBO]

The plants were half dead, res changes were often and yet still not enough, significant plumbing required and pump failure results in likely death...Unless you perfected this I wouldn't recommend it but hey you know more than I do...:hippy:
I'd be interested to see how they fair at 80+ res temps...

EDIT - Simple Plumbing...But still...

Dude, get lost.

Half dead? Whatever man. The finest shit I've EVER smoked came off a couple of those plants. I didn't pre-treat my hydroton, which resulted in stress from rising pH, and mangled the roots putting the clones in- both issues that were avoidable had I asked the guy at the shop, 'hey, how do you put rooted clones in HT, and do you have to pre-treat it?' My day temps were in the low 90s and my night temps dropped into the 50s regularly. This you would have read if you had bothered to read the thread before coming on here and acting all smug.

Res changes were NOT often- another thing you would have noticed. I think I did a total of 3 complete res changes the whole fucking grow. Your point...?

Pump failure does NOT result in likely death if you live there! This is not a commercial set it and forget it grow! Just for giggles, I turned off my pump at the end and left the remaining plants under just a shop light. After a WEEK they were still not wilting. Then I chopped them. I assume that the grower is going to stick his head in the closet once a day to see if everything is running.. is that too much to ask?

Did you notice this thread was a learning experience for me too?
Did you see me laughing at my own failures?
Did you see that I am about to set it up again for another run, with the lessons I've learned?
Did you notice the thread is NOT a sticky, and not in the FAQs?
Hell, did you even read the whole thread (apparently not)?

THIS WAS FOR FUN.

What in the holy hell is your PROBLEM?

[QWIDGYBO]

Oh you also said it overflowed twice...

[stinkyattic]

Oh aren't you the observant one. I was counting that in my total 3 res changes, smartypants.

Got any other nits to pick? Here... have some Rid...

[QWIDGYBO]

Quite a system you've got there. All those mistakes and still the best yandi you've ever smoked...
Clearly even the sun shines on a dogs arse once and a while...

[stinkyattic]

That's quite a tan you've got by the way...

That's what that rip was? ...pheew go rip elsewhere, that Mexican food you had for lunch is bothering my nostrils.

Seriously though, we could use some help troubleshooting in the hydro section... As I've said time and time again... I'm not a hydro person. Really.

This guy was proudly planning his first garden as of Oct 2007- I don't think he's gonna be much help.

[stinkyattic]

Right right.
Let's see that would make one full crop cycle from seed or two full crop cycles from clone.
Hey, what can I say, you can pack a lot o' learnin' into 4 months! ESPECIALLY if nothing goes wrong! It is through our mistakes that we actually learn shit...
